The city has a long history and it cherishes it with pride. The town hall has heavily invested in Málaga’s cultural portfolio and has built numerous cultural monuments, including almost 30 museums and a great amount of expertly restored architectural and archeological sites, dating back to the Roman, Moorish and early Christian eras. Besides, Málaga is most proud of its own son, the Spanish painter Pablo Picasso. There is a modern Picasso museum in the city centre, and you can also visit the house where the great painter was born. All these points make Málaga, the capital of the province, not only an excellent destination for learning Spanish and Andalusian history, but also bringing people unlimited fun to explore.
The most important business sectors in Málaga are tourism, construction and technology services, but other sectors, such as transportation and logistics, are also beginning to expand. The Andalusia Technology Park in Málaga has enjoyed significant growth since its inauguration in 1992 by the King of Spain. In 2019, this high-tech, scientific and industrial park employs almost 20,000 workers, contributing significantly to the Spanish economy.
When it comes to Málaga, you cannot talk about the sun without bringing up the beach. In the meantime, students at Málaga University, especially those on the campus of El Palo, have the great advantage of being right by one of the city’s nicest beaches.
